"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

"They don’t go in your ears at all. they just kind of clip on gently and sit there. ... no pressure ... way more comfy than anything I’ve tried."
"The IEMs really stay in my ears thanks to the free Spring Tips. I shook my head really hard for a few seconds and it didn't fall out my ears."
"just clips on the outside of your ear and feels super light, no pressure at all."

"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."

"The callers can hear everything in the background noise. All conversations, wind, etc"
"the calls are really bad in noisy environments."
"My biggest gripe with these is the transparency mode and ANC. I think it's terrible. ... With both features, anytime a "loud" noise is detected it makes a loud clipping sound and turns either transparency or anc off on the ear the sound was detected. ... This is super annoying to me so I don't even use these features."

"Honestly I hate the case. ... It's always activating in my pockets. ... I wish there was a way to lock the case. ... The novelty of the case quickly wears off."
"The case should just be a charging case. The wireless charging option is legit, but I could do without the rest. Touchscreen, etc. Especially when everything can be done through the app."

"ANC is average. ... It's not up there with flagships I'm afraid ... ANC is not improved much compared to the live pro which is a real shame"
"call quality not amazing in noisy environments. ... They dont appear that much improved over the live pro 2 ... it didn't block much background noise. ... Same with beam 3. It blocks noise when u are not speaking but once you start the background noise still comes through."
JBL live beam 3 with the smart case really awesome features and works great with pixel
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->JBL live series ( live buds 3, live beam 3) have the sound and comfort. I think you would be very pleased. I’m an audiophile listener, bass head, loud music sometimes, and I think these are awesome.
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds to buy 2025 ->I use the JBL LIVE BEAM3, I believe there 199$ from Best Buy. Their case is touch screen and you can put photos on it for the screen. Real cool I like em 8/10
r/motorcyclegear • Best ear buds for under the helmet ->I'm a huge audio nerd. I have a relatively large headphone collection and I have to say, these are pretty great. The stock sound is nothing to write home about, but it's amazing how well these respond to EQ. The comfort is also top notch and I'm surprised they never fall out of my ears. I do wish there were more third party ear tip makers so I could make them feel a little more secure, but they feel secure enough. Having LDAC is a massive selling point. The only knock I can think of sound wise is that the high frequencies are a little pitchy and don't have the best extension. With that being said, these are 200 dollar Bluetooth earbuds so this is a great buy in my book
r/Earbuds • JBL Live Beam 3 Initial Review ->If you want in ear, earbuds JBL Beam, Tribit Flybuds, JLab Jbuds line, Sony c 510 are good. Earfun is good too: Earfun Air 2 or Earfun Air Pro 4.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Are there any budget Bluetooth headphones that don’t suck? ->If you want earbuds with screen that actually works properly then buy the jbl live beam or buds 3, they're miles better than these temu off brand airpods.
r/Earbuds • Are these a good upgrade? ->I recently bought the JBL Live Beam 3. So far I'm liking it.
r/S25Ultra • Best buds or headphones to use with s25 ultra? ->I do. I use JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds. They cancel out the sound of the bike almost entirely. Only issue is the “whoop” “whop” sound from the pulsating wind changing pressure constantly and the headphones trying to compensate. I also use to use the cheaper JBL 230 NC headphones, which honestly sound better to me, but the Live Beam 3 noise cancellation is more absolute.
r/motorcycle • Anyone with experience/success with active noise isolation ear buds for highway hearing protect? ->The case should just be a charging case. The wireless charging option is legit, but I could do without the rest. Touchscreen, etc. Especially when everything can be done through the app. Aside from that, these are absolutely fantastic! I use buds mostly for music, movies, and podcasts. Calls when I feel like answering, lol. Overall, they sound much better than the under Armor flash X that unfortunately they met their demise when one got ran over. I had those for 4 years without any issues besides comfort. However, they'd start hurting my ears after 3 or 4 hours. They also started to lose battery life but nothing to complain about after 4 years of heavy use. When it came to buying another set of jbls, I wasn't skeptical. Hell, I was going to buy the flash x's again lol. Those were 250 when I bought them. I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! Donesky bro! For the price, I don't think I'd find better.
r/Earbuds • JBL Live Beam 3 Initial Review ->I use the blue tiger advantage plus. Battery is outstanding, I think I charge it like once a month. No issues being heard. Sound quality sucks but it’s a phone call so who cares. That being said, I’ve tried AirPods, soundcore liberty 4 pro, JBL buds and beam 3s, Bose quiet comfort buds…. JBL had the best sound quality but they all SUCK at phone calls and battery life. Honestly just stick headsets. The boom mic is what is crucial for us in the truck.
r/Truckers • Best earbuds? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
